Barbara Steele is the new
faculty member in the Teacher Educa
tion Program. Dr. Steele obtained her
Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction
from the University of Connecticut Dr.
Steele will be the coordinater of all
teaching internships. She will also be
involved in the newly formed Language
Arts Center, as well as teaching Educa
tion courses and SAGE 102 next spring.
Dr. Steele, we are glad to have you with
us!
We have more student teachers
this year than we’ve had in quite some
time. We are represented in about nine
different school systems, in two states.
Student teaching is a challenging expe
rience because we are no longer stu
dents, but not real teachers either. We
are “learning through doing” as John
Dewey, a famous educational psycholo
gist, would say. It is a period of trans
formation where we put what we have
learned into practice. I am learning a
great deal every day that I step into my
classroom. Hopefully, by theendofthis
internship, I will be well on my way to
becoming the type of teacher and
person that I’ve always wanted to be!
In summary, I would like to
thank Dr. Eugene Smith for everything
that he has done for me and this pro
gram. You are an as set to th i s program as
well as a fine person! Thank you for
everything!

THE LANCE
Honors
conlinued from page 4
Bringle also mentioned other
honors programs at St. Andrews inde
pendent of this General Honors Program.
There is the SAGE Honors
Track open to smdents nominated by
their professors solely on the basis of
performance in SAGE. On this track,
students write essays in lieu of tests and
participate in special discussions during
test days.
There are also Departmental
Honors for upper-level students in each
major. For instance, an Honors Politics
major who meets certain criteria can
participate in a year-long tutorial with
the entire team who guide the student in
writing of a major thesis paper.
The General Honors program
was hammered out by a faculty commit
tee of Bringle, Jon Franz and Dennis
McCracken, spurred on by Dean Benson
and advised by faculty and students. It
reflects limited resources. The original
ideal had been to offer four breadth
seminars from each of the divisions, but
staffing realities pared the number to two
which will rotated each year. There are
as yet no provisions for transfer Honors
students nor students \^io show Honors
potential only after arr^ng at St. An
drews with undistinguished high school
records.
"The honors program," reflects
Bringle, "will be a way of opening doors
for, rather than closing doors on, the rest
of the community."
Transformer

The malfunctioning trans
former was new, installed just before
Governor’s School began this summer.
Juri Kirs, Director of the Physical Plant,
is having McCarter Electric determine
whether the transformer was defective,
though there are many factors which
could have caused its failure.

ability to aeiegaie, have an mterest in
and love for students, and be commit
ted to fostering collegiality among
faculty and administration,” Graham
said. “A clear majority listed college ad
ministrative experience as important.”
“Except for personal attrib
utes such as honesty and integrity and
being a self-starter, the qualification
that scored highest was ‘proven fund
raising ability,” Graham said. We
expect to have completed interviews
and prioritized the candidates by the end
of October and to have completed the
selection process and made a recom
mendation to the Board of Tnistees by
the end of November.
Hopkins stressed that neither
the faculty nor the student advisory
committees will actually choose the
new president but that the Board of
Trustees will take those committee’s
recommendations into account when
making their determination.
“Elected student leaders re
ceived the presidential profile survey in
late May or early June,” Hopkins said.
“The student committee will meet with
the candidates when they come to
campus in November. That way, stu
dents will be able to share with the
candidate their viewpoints and percep
tions.”
Members of the student
advisory committee for the presidential
search are Julie Butcher, representing
disabled students; Astri Holland, Col
lege Union Board president; Michelle
Taylor, College Christian Union presi
dent; Judy Folmar, Student Defense
Counsel; Barbara Caras, Attorney Gen
eral; Nathan West, Student Associa
tion treasurer; DavidPerkinson, Student
Association vice-president; Charles
Brown, Student Association president.
October 1,1987
The student advisory commit
tee was appointed by James Morgan,
chair of the Board of Trustees, Septem-
l)er4.
Perkinson, president of Sl
Andrews since 1975, announced his
resignation on April 29. Perkinson said
that he had been contemplating the
resignation for more than a year,
waiting for a time when his departure
would be least disruptive to the college.
“I do not leave St. Andrews
because of disaffection, disillusionment
or disinterest but because after 12 years
at St. Andrews I feel that it is time for
me to pursue other challenges and
some long-standing interests,” Perkin
son said. “I love this college and will
continue to support it”
“We will be looking for a
very special candidate,” said James
Morgan, chair of the college Board of
Trustees. “We want someone who will
understand and share our vision of St.
Andrews and who will work energeti
cally to enhance both the financial
strength and the program of the college
and see that its traditions remain intact.”
Morgan credited Perkinson
with leading the college out of earlier
hardships. “Enrollment is growing, the
faculty is strong and the administrative
staff is highly competent,” Morgan said.
When Perkinson became
president in 1975, the college faced
severe problems. The energy crisis,
inflation and the aftermath of the cam-
pusrevolution in the late 60’sand early
70’sputthe college in serious jeopardy,
according to Morgan. “Buildings were
in poor repair, there were no places for
students to assemble, enrolhnents were
dechning, deficits were increasing
each year, debts were piling up and
public relations were suffering,”
Morgan said. “Bun Perkinson provided
the leadership which changed the course
for the college.”
